Did you use -t rtf or -t rtf-95 and did you use Word 97?

I guess the extra space is not created in the FOT builder but in the 
RTF backend.

Well,

I have just used jade -t rtf-95 and it works. With jade -t rtf I get 
the extra space. I looked at the rtf files produced. With rtf-95 the 
following rtf code is created:

{\field{\*\fldinst   GOTOBUTTON ID_A1 That's a link to anchor 1 
...}{\fldrslt }}

With rtf, however, the code is:

{\field{\*\fldinst   HYPERLINK  \\l ID_A1}{\fldrslt  That's a link to anchor 1 ...}}

There are two spaces after \fldrslt.  If I remove the second
space in an editor and reload the rtf file into WinWord97, it's ok. 
So, one space is treated as a delimiter for the control word, the 
next space is output as text. Now I think this is a problem of the 
backend.

Michael
